Rich coral-red, pink, deep blue, green and yellow tones combine with the flowing typography of Fleurs de Mousse to create the sensuous, decorative character associated with Belle Époque advertising.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrinted text reads “Le Grand Parfum à la Mode — Fleurs de Mousse de Sauzé Frères Parfumeurs Paris.” The original poster was designed by Italian painter, illustrator and poster artist Leopoldo Metlicovitz (1868–1944) and dates to approximately 1898. The Italian national cultural-heritage catalog identifies the original as a chromolithograph measuring approximately 109.5 × 80 cm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe original printing history is somewhat nuanced. Museum documentation identifies the work with Metlicovitz and dates it to 1898, while period\/original examples have been described as printed by Moullot Fils Aîné, Marseille-Paris, under license from Ricordi; other documented examples are associated with Officine Ricordi in Milan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist: Leopoldo Metlicovitz (1868–1944)\u003cbr\u003eTitle: Fleurs de Mousse\u003cbr\u003eAdvertiser: Sauzé Frères, Parfumeurs, Paris\u003cbr\u003eOriginal date: 1898\u003cbr\u003eArt period: Belle Époque \/ turn of the 20th century\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Art Nouveau\u003cbr\u003eSubject: French perfume advertising; female figure, perfume vessel, flowers and butterflies\u003cbr\u003eOriginal medium: Chromolithograph \/ color lithographic advertising poster\u003cbr\u003eThis example: Later color reproduction\/print on paper\u003cbr\u003eOriginal publisher\/printer: Associated with Ricordi; documented original examples also identify Moullot Fils Aîné, Marseille-Paris, under license from Ricordi.\u003cbr\u003ePlace associated with advertisement: Paris, France\u003cbr\u003eArtist nationality: Italian\u003cbr\u003eOrientation: Portrait\/vertical\u003cbr\u003eFrame: Unframed\u003cbr\u003eMat: None\u003cbr\u003eMargins: Wide white margins surrounding printed image\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNew in sleeve.
